Connie talbot how old is she now

Connie began to sing "as soon as she could talk" and she spent many hours with her grandmother Violet who was very ill at the time watching the film The Wizard of Oz repeatedly and singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow together. Violet was the first person to recognize Connie as a talented singer, yet sadly she died before Connie became well known internationally. Connie sang Amazing Grace at her grandmother's funeral. Since that first appearance on Britain's Got Talent, Connie has become an international phenomenon, with appearances all around the globe.

She has accumulated millions upon millions of YouTube views and has attracted glowing media attention. The Guinness Book of World Records certified Connie with two accolades youngest artist in the UK ever to reach the charts and the youngest ever to receive a gold record.

It features Connie's interpretation of holiday classics and fan favourites. In conjunction with the release of the Holiday Magic CD, Connie recorded a one hour television special, and a wide screen HD DVD of the show, consisting of all the songs plus one additional song and 3 bonus tracks, was released for public sale.

Aged 8 at the time, Connie thus became the youngest artist ever to make an hour-long television special. The Holiday Magic CD and television special capped off an incredibly prolific and successful year for the rising star. However, we will not spoil it for you by revealing their identity but if you do care to know who won the show, a simple Twitter search will bring up the answer in no time.
